I think I'd accept Bo or Hope with another person if we saw the drifting apart slowly and then the break up and then time alone then another person enter their lives instead of fruit basket turnover with no emotional realism except sensationalism. If Hope had been paired with a character who was respected and a standup type, instead of the weakling Patrick Lockhart, I think that would have been more acceptable to the fans. If Bo had been paired with anyone but Billie Reed, that could have been more acceptble to the fans. In other words, why break up a great pair to weaken both of them. Their new pairing would have to be as strong or stronger.....such as John and Marlena after Roman and Marlena. There just can't be instant gratification with just anyone and make a hit. JMHO
